THE PRINCIPLE OF ADMINISTRATIVE DESCENTRALIZATION

Abstract

The local public administration in Romania operates on the basis of a series of fundamental principles. One of these elemental principles is decentralization. Administrative decentralization assumes the existence of local public persons, designated by the community of the territory, with their own attributions, which intervene directly in the management and administration of the community's problems, implying the local autonomy. Thus, through decentralization, the unity characteristic of centralization is given up, reserving to the local communities the task of solving their problems and satisfying their specific interests.
